## How to get rid of water in diesel tank: what to do
Sinks to the pickup and stops the engine.

## What the wrong fuel does on its way through
Diesel lubricates as it passes; petrol dissolves that film and acts as a solvent. Run a diesel high-pressure pump on petrol and it wears fast, shedding fine metal into the injectors behind it. None of that happens while the fuel sits in the tank. All of it starts the moment the engine turns over.

## Step by step
The single rule Leave the engine off. Everything else on this list is secondary to that one instruction.
- Do not reposition the car Pushing it into a bay feels considerate but it disturbs the fuel. Stay put unless you are in danger.
- If it is dangerous, get out On a verge or live road, everybody out on the side away from traffic and behind the barrier. Then call.
- Call 01293 248666, day or night Answered around the clock. Describe the vehicle and what happened; the full price is confirmed on that call.
- The fix, where you stand Drain, flush, refill, prime and run-up, carried out at the roadside or on the forecourt.
- Finished properly The waste is taken away by a registered carrier with the transfer note, and you get an invoice.

## Four point eight, and why it is not five
2,190 Trustpilot reviews average 4.8. Happy customers write about patience: a technician who explained each step instead of hurrying, at an hour when nobody wanted to be standing on a forecourt.

Most of the missing tenth is money. That is understandable, so the numbers sit in plain sight — call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999 — and every figure is agreed by phone first, never revealed on arrival.

## Questions we get asked

**What if I have already driven it?**
Still call. Most vehicles driven a short distance are recoverable. Tell us how far you got, because it changes the kit we bring.

**Is this a garage?**
No. Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.

**How long will I be waiting?**
Arrival depends where you are across TS1 and TS3 to TS8 and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.

**What about a van or a hire car?**
Same job. With a hire car, ring the hire company too — some policies cover a misfuel drain and it is worth knowing before you pay.
